About Billionth Barrel Monument

It was built in 1991 to recognize the creation of the billionth barrel of oil delivered in the coastal oil field in Seria. Strikingly, every component or part of the landmark has huge significance. The curve symbolizes the stream of raw petroleum from underneath the earth to the surface. The quantity of posts, which is six altogether symbolizes a time of oil investigation and creation to accomplish the billionth barrel. In conclusion, the national image on top speaks to success to the general population and the nation, Brunei Darussalam. The tiles covering the floor likewise display an Islamic example, implying the Islamic effect on the design.

Additionally in the territory are several pump jacks – the instruments that are utilized to draw out raw petroleum from the beginning. These are tenderly alluded to as "jackasses" in light of the fact that the sound they make when boring for oil looks like that of a jackass' bawling. Others even call it "gesturing jackasses" because of the way it moves all over.

Despite the fact that you can stay and walk up and through the outsized solid legs of the structure, the landmark is best seen from a separation where you can see its totality, particularly at dawn or dusk. Taking a gander at the shoreline influenced me to feel dismal, however. Unmistakably, the oil penetrating has incurred significant injury on the water. There's oil slick wherever influencing the shoreline to seem caramel dark. Maybe they couldn't care less much about the ocean, yet this is a noteworthy natural concern and they ought to make a move before it's past the point of no return.
